“If you don’t risk anything, you risk more.” means that taking chances are a big part of life. When you are making a big or important choice, you must think about the good and bad effects that you may have when you make that choice. The things that affect the great decisions can come with a great cost but benefit later on. Risks could mean benefit later on or the loss of everything. But I think for something successful to happen, a risk must follow as well.

I think it is an advantage that we cannot control the weather because the nature needs all different kinds of weather to grow firm and strong. With the humans controlling the weather, we might use it for only our benefits and not consider the nature that needs this diversity of weather more than us. When the weather is controlled by the nature, the nature itself can balance itself.
Snow White We finally finished mining crystals in the mine and we headed back to our hut in the forest. When we reached our house we noticed that the house was clean and the dishes were washed. When Dopey went upstairs to see who was there, the others were scared to see what would happen to him. We thought that it was a monster that was sleeping in our beds. When we noticed that it wasn’t a monster but a princess. We treated her as a guest and tried our best to make her entertained by playing out music instruments. At the next day, we marched into the mine to mine more crystals. We warned her to be careful of the queen. We went to the mine and when we were ready to go back to our home, a bunch of animals pulled us and tugged us in the direction of our home. Sleepy said that the animals may have been warning us about Snow White so we rode the deer and headed to the hut very quickly. Then we saw a woman with the black robe. We chased her down until she ended up in the top of the mountains. We were almost there to catch her but she got a stick and tried to make the boulder roll in our way. Before she could push the boulder, the lightning struck the ground in front of her and she fell to the bottom of the ground. We assumed she was dead and we came to our huts. We saw the princess dead in our eyes. Instead of burying her, we made a grave made out of gold and crystal glass. We kneeled down beside the body and cried with tears when the brave prince came and brought Snow White to life by kissing her. From then on we felt relieved and happy that she was alive once again. We danced with joy and gave our farewells to her.

The Pie
John Park
Pie! Pie! Pleasingly good
In the restraunt of the wood,
What cook’s hand or eye
Could frame thy delicious pie?
In what distant island of cook
Burnt the rims of the pies like the spine of a book?
On what hand dare he make us desire?
What the hand dare seize the power of the fire?
And what mixture, and what masterpiece,
Could twist the mouth caprice?
And when they mouths began to water like a bottle of soave.
What dread metal plate? and what dread baking stove?
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.
Two
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Revised Two ice-cream flavors placed in a wooden table
And sorry I couldn’t eat both
And one customer, long I stood
And looked into one as far as I could
To where it bent on the chair
Two
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And both that morning equally lay
In the chair no person had sat.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how the food is delicious,
I doubted if I should ever pick the other ice cream
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two ice cream flavors diverged on a table, and I--
I took the one less eaten, And that has made all the difference.

The big bear with furry fur
who will stroll around the river
for a great big meal.
The fishes splashing
with helpless eyes.
And the bushes with berries
crying with dew drops
as the big bear stomps near the berries.
The chomps follow after the grins of the bear
The berry juice splattered on his mouth
As the bear runs and scoops up the fish,
The fish squirms to fall out of his grips
but the strength of the bear keeps the fish tight.
The big bear having power over its prey
growls for more food for his lunch.
The claws shining as he searches for the fish
As the bear sprints to capture the swift fish,
the fish swim for their lives. The big bear is an invisible animal

I think that young kids should be allowed to have a break during their time of work. The kids could be more relaxed and happy while they work hard in their school and outside activities. When kids work for long periods, the quality of their work is less than the quality when the kids get breaks and entertainment.
The fun that the kids receive can be a factor to their hard working habits. Students should acquire at least 1 hour of free time a day so that they can chill their heads and stop them from stressing out. With this free time, the students can read, take a nap, or etc. The stress that the students will receive when they didn’t have free time may be a slight problem for the family, school, or his friends. I believe that a young student should be allowed to have a break in their time of work because their lives should be carefree and no stressful so that they can make their goals themselves and work through hard situations themselves as well.

When it would be a rainy day, I would go to my room and search for the chess board I got for my birthday present. I would ask my brother or my dad to play a game with me once I set up the board. As soon as one of the pieces move, the battle begins. The watcher of the game who is usually the person that is waiting to play would see the pieces falling as the opponent strikes them down. Chess is a complicated game where you would sacrifice a teammate or trick the enemy into death. The last one standing is the king who is frightened to do anything without his soldiers.

The cat and the dog were fierce enemies. The grudge between each other could never be cured and erased. As these animals fight occasionally, they end up in scars and wounds. The dog would tackle the dog while the cat would use its sharp claws to defend itself. The advantage of the dog’s size doesn’t scare the cat at all. The cat rolls and dodges the brutal fangs of the dog and balance itself to get ready to attack. As it jumps on the dog, and sinks its teeth into the skin of the dog, the dog yelps in the pain it took.
The cat isn’t the best animals of all. The dog can also pounce and body slam the cat. The dog stands back up and head-butts the opponent with strong force. The cat falls after the strong impact and tries to come back up. The dog doesn’t give a chance for the cat to attack. He lunges again and rips off the cats skin. The battle is evenly matched.

I think it is an advantage that we cannot control the weather because the nature needs all different kinds of weather to grow firm and strong. With the humans controlling the weather, we might use it for only our benefits and not consider the nature that needs this diversity of weather more than us. When the weather is controlled by the nature, the nature itself can balance itself.Snow White
We finally finished mining crystals in the mine and we headed back to our hut in the forest. When we reached our house we noticed that the house was clean and the dishes were washed. When Dopey went upstairs to see who was there, the others were scared to see what would happen to him. We thought that it was a monster that was sleeping in our beds. When we noticed that it wasn’t a monster but a princess.
We treated her as a guest and tried our best to make her entertained by playing out music instruments. At the next day, we marched into the mine to mine more crystals. We warned her to be careful of the queen. We went to the mine and when we were ready to go back to our home, a bunch of animals pulled us and tugged us in the direction of our home. Sleepy said that the animals may have been warning us about Snow White so we rode the deer and headed to the hut very quickly.
Then we saw a woman with the black robe. We chased her down until she ended up in the top of the mountains. We were almost there to catch her but she got a stick and tried to make the boulder roll in our way. Before she could push the boulder, the lightning struck the ground in front of her and she fell to the bottom of the ground. We assumed she was dead and we came to our huts.
We saw the princess dead in our eyes. Instead of burying her, we made a grave made out of gold and crystal glass. We kneeled down beside the body and cried with tears when the brave prince came and brought Snow White to life by kissing her. From then on we felt relieved and happy that she was alive once again. We danced with joy and gave our farewells to her.

The Pie
John Park
Pie! Pie! Pleasingly good
In the restraunt of the wood,
What cook’s hand or eye
Could frame thy delicious pie?
In what distant island of cook
Burnt the rims of the pies like the spine of a book?
On what hand dare he make us desire?
What the hand dare seize the power of the fire?
And what mixture, and what masterpiece,
Could twist the mouth caprice?
And when they mouths began to water like a bottle of soave.
What dread metal plate? and what dread baking stove?
Poem
The Road Not Taken
Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.
Two
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Revised
Two ice-cream flavors placed in a wooden table
And sorry I couldn’t eat both
And one customer, long I stood
And looked into one as far as I could
To where it bent on the chair
Two
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And both that morning equally lay
In the chair no person had sat.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how the food is delicious,
I doubted if I should ever pick the other ice cream
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two ice cream flavors diverged on a table, and I--
I took the one less eaten,
And that has made all the difference.

The big bear with furry fur
who will stroll around the river
for a great big meal.
The fishes splashing
with helpless eyes.
And the bushes with berries
crying with dew drops
as the big bear stomps near the berries.
The chomps follow after the grins of the bear
The berry juice splattered on his mouth
As the bear runs and scoops up the fish,
The fish squirms to fall out of his grips
but the strength of the bear keeps the fish tight.
The big bear having power over its prey
growls for more food for his lunch.
The claws shining as he searches for the fish
As the bear sprints to capture the swift fish,
the fish swim for their lives.
The big bear is an invisible animal

I think that young kids should be allowed to have a break during their time of work. The kids could be more relaxed and happy while they work hard in their school and outside activities. When kids work for long periods, the quality of their work is less than the quality when the kids get breaks and entertainment.
The fun that the kids receive can be a factor to their hard working habits. Students should acquire at least 1 hour of free time a day so that they can chill their heads and stop them from stressing out. With this free time, the students can read, take a nap, or etc. The stress that the students will receive when they didn’t have free time may be a slight problem for the family, school, or his friends. I believe that a young student should be allowed to have a break in their time of work because their lives should be carefree and no stressful so that they can make their goals themselves and work through hard situations themselves as well.

When it would be a rainy day, I would go to my room and search for the chess board I got for my birthday present. I would ask my brother or my dad to play a game with me once I set up the board. As soon as one of the pieces move, the battle begins. The watcher of the game who is usually the person that is waiting to play would see the pieces falling as the opponent strikes them down. Chess is a complicated game where you would sacrifice a teammate or trick the enemy into death. The last one standing is the king who is frightened to do anything without his soldiers.Journal Entry #15

The cat and the dog were fierce enemies. The grudge between each other could never be cured and erased. As these animals fight occasionally, they end up in scars and wounds. The dog would tackle the dog while the cat would use its sharp claws to defend itself. The advantage of the dog’s size doesn’t scare the cat at all. The cat rolls and dodges the brutal fangs of the dog and balance itself to get ready to attack. As it jumps on the dog, and sinks its teeth into the skin of the dog, the dog yelps in the pain it took.
The cat isn’t the best animals of all. The dog can also pounce and body slam the cat. The dog stands back up and head-butts the opponent with strong force. The cat falls after the strong impact and tries to come back up. The dog doesn’t give a chance for the cat to attack. He lunges again and rips off the cats skin. The battle is evenly matched.
